How Apple’s iOS 26 and Google’s Android 16 Will Change Our Phones

  Apple’s going to add some transparency to buttons and call it a groundbreaking redesign while Android is going to go all in on AI.

  So iPhones will become more Apple and Android will become more Google.

  What I hate about these AI-comparison articles is that nobody of those so-called “journalists” understands, that Apple’s AI runs locally on the device. Whereas Gemini runs in Google’s cloud - which in turn means that Google get’s a copy of every single request/prompt. Also, no mention of iOS 26’s new call screening feature - which asks unknown callers for their name and purpose of the call and displays this on the screen before your phone starts to ring. And, again, it’s all happening on-device.

    Nice! Thanks for pointing this out!

    I’m no fan of Android, but it’s had this capability for years. This feels like Apple inventing the rectangle again.

      Yes, for years. Proudly presented by Google’s datacentres. It’s not Apple inventing it again, it’s Apple making it possible completely on-device.

    Every once in a while the ai part of my phone will get hot and I assume it got a new email or something. Generating emojis makes it a toaster!
